Q2 2024 – QUARTERLY M&A MARKET RECAP

• Global Industrial Manufacturing M&A transaction volume decreased in Q2-24 compared to Q2-23, as total transactions fell 4.8% to 277. However, M&A transactions on a Jun-24 TTM basis remain in line with 2023 totals, coming in at 1,154 compared to 1,156 in 2023.
• U.S. Industrial Manufacturing M&A deal activity experienced a 26.5% decline to 75 transactions in Q2-24 compared to Q2-23. The decline in US private equity M&A activity to just above the lows of 2023 indicates a delayed recovery in industrial manufacturing. However, there are signs that private equity activity is likely to pick up in the second half of 2024, as interest rates are expected to decline and businesses focus on enhancing their operating performance compared to previous years.
